However, even in this case, the cover portion 73 can be easily attached and detached. Also, when configuring the non-installed table 1N as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the cover part 73 is placed in the second position, the cover part 73 can be slid from the center side of the top plate 2 and the main body 70, and the closing part 72c can be inserted into the notch part 73a.

Note that it is also possible to form the hole portion of the cover portion 73 in a closed shape instead of the notch portion 73a. However, from the viewpoint of improving the ease of attachment and detachment from the main body portion 70 as described above, it is preferable to form the notch portion 73a.

Further, as described above, the table 1 according to the present embodiment is configured such that the closing portion 72c is inserted into the notch portion 73a when the cover portion 73 is placed in the second position. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 9, the surface of the cover portion 73 and the upper surface of the closing portion 72c can be configured to be substantially on the same plane. That is, since the notch portion 73a can be made more inconspicuous, the design of the non-installed table 1N can be further improved.

Further, in the table 1 according to the present embodiment, the main body portion 70 can be divided into a body portion 71 and an end surface portion 72. When the cover part 73 is placed in the first position, the main body part 70 is placed in a downward position by pointing the closing part 72c of the end face part 72 downward, and when the cover part 73 is placed in the second position, the main body part 70 is placed in a downward position. In this case, the main body part 70 is brought into an upward state by turning the closing part 72c of the end face part 72 upward.

By configuring as described above, the closing portion 72c can be retracted to the lower side of the main body portion 70 when the cover portion 73 is placed in the first position. Thereby, when configuring the installation table 1P, interference between the cover portion 73 and the closing portion 72c can be prevented. On the other hand, when the cover part 73 is in the second position, the closing part 72c can be positioned above the main body part 70. Thereby, when configuring the non-installed table 1N, the closing part 72c can be inserted into the inside of the notch 73a of the cover part 73, and the design of the non-installed table 1N can be improved.
